Ukraine war Bullshit.

If you do not care, nothing I am going to say will change that. There are many reasons to be concerned about Ukraine's situation, and it is in no way similar to Africa, and not sure what you are referring to "Muslim countries".

Go ahead and tell us why we should be concerned about Ukraine's situation.

SOLD PVS27

I've shot a handful on the same rifle. 2 had about a 1.5moa shift at 100, and 3 others had zero shift from day zero i could see for what it's worth.

All 5 were consistent with their shift or their no shift fwiw.

Just had one out hunting tonight. Cloudy... no ir and could easily id and shoot coyotes out to treeline at 550yd. Was on maybe 70 pct gain, about 9x mag.

Hope that helps ! @Beladran

Glws!

It's been fun, but it's time for me to move on

Ryan, Like you, I have been around this place for a long time. Pre Scout. I'm sure we have talked in the past as I relied on the knowledge and help of many here building my M40a1.

Owning guns that people we know and respect once owned creates a valuable treasure. Perhaps there is a way to give Hide members a Crack at pieces of your collection? Perhaps post a link here whenever you list something? What about one large listing with items and pics?

Lastly if you would care to, send me a PM and I'll share my contact info so that if you need anything, perhaps I can help. If not then take care and God Bless, my friend!

We the Sheeple

With all the waste, fraud and abuse being uncovered by DOGE, I’m getting the impression this is just the tip of the iceberg. At this point DOGE has realized they just need to focus on very basic fundamentals like 1) is this payment going to a real organization? 2) are these federal employees actually working at XYZ agency? 3) is this federal funding going to a known enemy or criminal element? Once they get done evaluating all the 450 Federal agencies for these basics fundamentals, then they can dive into more complex fraud like 1) Was this Grant money for “Transgender frog studies” actually laundered for personal use? And by whom? And did that money then get routed back to Pelosi, Biden, Schumer etc.

This video is one of many where Elon is explaining the depth of the waste, fraud and abuse being uncovered.

WE THE SHEEPLE are just one big cash cow that the politicians and bureaucrats pilfer from year after year. They never, ever had any intention of protecting us, our freedom, or our future. They’re just protecting the gravy train. Once the government started getting our income tax 100 years ago, they realized this is the new game, to figure out other ways to extract regular payments from the people. Payroll Tax, Social Security Tax, Sales Tax, Property Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Gasoline Tax, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and when you die, Inheritance Tax.

Our government is sending hundreds of billions to charities and NGO’s who can then do whatever they want with the money. They can say it’s a charity to help with orphans and then spend 95% of the money on re-election campaigns and personal wealth. #TheClintonFoundation

Victoria Venus Pro 22lr Reviews?

A friend of mine has one and two more on order , Victrix rimfires like many other have pros and cons .
Actions are as slick as they get , triggers are very good ,machining,fit and finish is very good.Barrels seem to be fixed with some sort of a grub screew setup, and for some reason they use new line of Lothar Walther cold hammer forged barrels for the PRS models instead of LW button rifled offerings, stock venus have overly long LOP , chassis lack long top cover options. No extended mag capacity options
Barrels way too skinny on Venus models, a thicker one seems to be used in ORB model

Whole barrel thing is kinda mind-boggling as Victrix uses both LW and US made barrels in centerfires and LW manufactures good button rifled rimfire barrels that should have been fitted from the start instead of Hammer forget barrels that i imagine save couple of $$

From what i have seen in person in the Italian Worlds rifles worked well and guy in my squad that shot one had no noteworthy gun-related issues on any of the 20 stages

As second hand gosip one of my friends that competes in most of Italian comps and gets to see them more and talk to the shooters.
Cold bore POI shift on first round or tow is noticeable on some of them and owners curse that the most (cold hammer forged barrel likely at fault)LOP still too long , barrels to skinny,

At this point , for US customer Victrix makes no sense at all. you have similar or lower cost Voodoo ,RimX which you can have made to your specs .

Even for some of us Euro folks , the Victrix barrel is just a deal breaker .
If we ever get the chance to buy Victrix actions or barreled actions ,we could make rifles that will eat Voodoo and RimX for breakfast , but until then ---- not buying one.
Thanks for the feedback.

Do you think most of the complaints about the barrel being to skinny are from the non-pro venus models?
The ORB and Venus pro both look to have pretty heavy contour barrels.
Based on the bare weights of the venus pro and the ORB the barrels must be pretty thick to achieve the weight.
Womfat does a video on the non-pro venus and mentions that barrel is a bit too thin.

I don't see the Victrix rifles ever being too popular in the US, although it was interesting to see in one of X'Rings videos he does a side by side comparison with a RimX build and makes the case for the Victrix being reasonably good value for money.

I'm looking at competing at the IPRF rimfire in the UK this year in factory class, and the availability of high end factory rifles is pretty limited in New Zealand and the wait time to import one is 6-12 months. The Victrix seems to tick the most boxes although at a high price.

If stupid Tikka just put a proper barrel on the T1x Ace that would easily be the best choice.

DOGE finds Treasury Dept loses 1 Billion dollars a week to fraud and corruption: Deep State Judge blocks exposure

Login to view embedded media
As I've stated before, majority of them in on the game, not just in the USA.

Australia/NZ/Canada have the same thing going on. It's not insider trading it's just your average politician has better luck than any Irishman and can't help having impeccable timing on these trades.

I'm not from the US but I think a lot of people would forego the $5000 payback from the government if it was put to the best use case possible, gold plated gallows and live stream the events. Probably be able to run 24/7 for many months and not get through the treasonous and corrupt.

Elections in Aus coming up, we have the choice out of two idiots that both believe Ukraine is weeks away from destroying Russia.

Australia and Canada need saving, maybe we can become the 51st and 52nd states of the US.

300 BLK various barrel lengths velocity subsonic and supersonic.

Of those barrel lengths which one was the quietest with Subs/Supers? Was there a noticeable difference?
Man, to be honest I wasn't really paying attention to that I was mainly focused on shooting over the chrony for the velocity difference, but I can say I don't think there was a noticeable.

Stop feeding these peoples entertainment! Without response, they just fizzle away. Really, it just makes you look foolish. These types feed on respones, they know they are in the wrong spot, but love to see your emotions come out in words. Stop!

Imagine going onto a basket weaving forum and every comment you posted was "baskets are gay"! Thats who youre arguing with.

Zelensky showing no respect in Oval Office

The irony of Lieutenant Bone Spurs talking down the Z is hilarious. Z knows he is a 5 time draft dodger and Trump knows he knows. Trump knows the entire world knows it so of course he talks down to Z. Did Trump really think Z is going to come in groveling at his feet? Come on. He has absolutely no respect for Trump. He’s spent the last 3 years fighting for his life and the lives of his people. He knows Trump will never back him and his next play is with NATO.

Just one possible scenario - If you leave your car running in the garage, it will fill a home with CO and kill the occupants. After a time, the car will run out of gas and the CO levels will dissipate, especially if you have any sort of recirculating AC running.
They tested negative for carbon monoxide.
Which doesn't mean anything if you are just giving a tip on how to commit suicide or kill people.
There's usually a dumb ass that will run a generator in their garage during a power outage then ends up dead.

I think it’s what’s not being said is the problem.

The US right now is acting as mediator between Ukraine and Russia.

Russia isn’t going to accept giving back territory and not getting anything. Ukraine isn’t going to except letting Russian have their country.

Ukraine won’t survive without tax payer money.

Russian expansion isn’t great for the US influence in Europe.

What’s going on is they are forcing Zelenskyy into an off ramp. Eventually he will have to go back to his people and say he did the best he could, and take a deal.
Zelenskyy is done, just hasn’t connected yet in his mind, Trump set the table for a revolt and it’s gonna happen , Putin has been waiting this out , now negotiations can begin with a third party and Zelenskyy will be pushed aside and go back to shucking and jiving euro trash style.

Not to dismiss Z's behavior or actions, but maybe he can't help himself. Literally.

If you've ever been around a bunch of Russians, Ukrainians or other Slavs, especially when they're drunk which is most of the time, you'll find them to be loud, boorish clods lacking in the finer points of etiquitte. They don't know any better and are helpless to change.

I bet Zalensky left completely in the dark and confused at WTF happened. He's always played the role of selfless warfighter that doesn't have time to even change out of his gear because he has to get back to his noble troops in the trenches. Just give him a few more billions and he'll keep Putin and the commies away from the U.S.

Zelensky showing no respect in Oval Office

and some idiot from the eu had already admitted the minsk agreement was just a stalling tactic to allow ukraine to build up its army.
when you examine the timeline leading up to the russian intervention, it is obvious the ukrainians baited them into attacking.
somebody wanted this war. they prepared for it. they started it. and it wasn't the russians.

2-15-22: The OSCE recorded 41 ceasefire violations as Ukrainian forces intensified shelling of Donbass.

2-16-22: 76 violations.

2-17-22: 316 violations—some of the heaviest artillery shelling in years. Civilians from the DPR and LPR began evacuating to Russia.

2-18-22: 654 violations.

2-19-22: 1,413 violations.

2-20/21-22: A staggering 2,026 violations!

2-21-22: Russia officially recognizes the DPR and LPR, pledging military assistance. The US and EU immediately condemn Russia, threatening sanctions—yet they ignore the Ukrainian shelling of civilians.

2-22-22: 1,484 violations.

•On the same day, the UK, US, and EU impose sanctions on Russia for recognizing the republics.

2-24-22: Russian troops enter Ukraine.

Between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine’s army expanded from 145,000 to 360,000 troops. By late 2021, 125,000 Ukrainian forces had massed in the East, preparing to wipe out the DPR and LPR and push toward Russia’s borders.


WWW 1, WWW 2, Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait the USA did the same thing that Russia did for the Eastern Ukraine provinces. But we're the only ones allowed to be the world police.
